Earth Day is a perfect time to reflect about what you are doing to help protect the environment. Steps … : Steps … Plant trees : Plant trees As the date also roughly coincides with U.S. Arbor Day, over time Earth Day has taken on the role of tree-planting. Planting trees helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, cleans pollution, secures soil in place to prevent erosion, and provides homes for a lot of biodiversity. Make nature crafts at school or home : Make nature crafts at school or home Get together with your family andbuild a birdhouse or make a bird feeder to encourage the local bird population, which plays an important role in every ecosystem. Use objects that would've otherwise been thrown away to create beautiful works of art...Here, the possibilities are endless: Learn more about the environment : Learn more about the environment Earth Day is a good time to make a commitment to learning more about the environment and how you can help to protect it. Borrow some library books and read up on an issue such as pollution, endangered species, water shortages, recycling, and climate change. Think about the issues that concern you the most and if you haven't done so already, join a local group that undertakes activities to help protect the environment in your area. Reduce, reuse and recycle all day long : Reduce, reuse and recycle all day long Buy as little as possible and avoid items that come in lots of packaging. Support local growers and producers of food and products - these don't have to travel as far and so reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Take your drink container with you, and don't use any disposable plates or cutlery. Recycle all the things you do use for the day or find other uses for things that you no longer use. Carry a cloth bag for carrying things in and recycle your plastic bags. Hold an Earth Day fair : Hold an Earth Day fair Things to have at the fair include demonstrations of environmentally-friendly products, children's artwork, healthy/locally grown foods to eat, animal care demonstrations, games for the children made of recycled products, musicians and actors performing environmental music and skits, stalls which are recycling unwanted treasures and books, local environmental organisations presenting their issues and wares. Slide 9: Money raised can go towards a local environmental restoration project or to an environmental group agreed upon by all the participants running the fair. Wear green and/or brown : Wear green and/or brown Dress in environmental colors for the day; think "tree"! Wear badges if you have them that carry pithy summaries of your environmental views. Engage others in conversations about your environmental concerns : Engage others in conversations about your environmental concerns Don't be bossy or pushy, just tell people some facts and then explain your feelings about them. Encourage them to respond and if they have no opinions or they seem to not know much, help them learn some more by imparting your environmental knowledge in a friendly and helpful manner. Remember: Every day is Earth Day : Remember: Every day is Earth Day Anything to help our environment is a perfect thing to do on Earth Day and every day. Don't restrict yourself to just one day a year; learn about how you can make a difference to environmental protection all the time. And put it into practice - every day!
